The problem I am seeing happens *after* I have authenticated and set up the SSH terminal session. I am at the Linux prompt, and I want to ftp to some other machine or I want to sudo as root. These will ask me for a password. It is during this step, long after the session has been set up and has been working fine, that the client hangs. Are these linux commands (ftp, sudo, &c) using the SSH authentication mechanisms again? I am doing the channel_poll on a channel that is open and has been working fine for some time. But obviously there is something special happening here. For the initial connection, I did indeed basically clone the code from client.c in the examples. Other than the above problem, my client now works just fine. Thanks, Pierre
